Last Call at the Savoy

Feature and Contest

Last Call at the Savoy

Set amongst the glittering backdrop of London's iconic Savoy hotel, LAST CALL AT THE SAVOY is about a young woman who is forced to confront her troubled past as she uncovers the story of the hotel’s first female bartender who has been erased from the history books.

The author of this fascinating debut novel, which was a 2025 Bookreporter.com Bets On selection, is Brisa Carleton, a three-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer and investor who has been involved in shows such as Hamilton, Moulin Rouge and Beautiful.

We gave three readers the opportunity to win up to 12 copies of LAST CALL AT THE SAVOY for their book group, along with a book group chat with Brisa in May or June. 

We also awarded one copy of the book to 25 readers who agreed to read it and give us their feedback on it, share it with their book group, and recommend it for a discussion in June, July or August.

Congratulations to all the winners! You can see them below.
